Courtyard By Marriott Santa Monica Hotel, Santa Monica

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The room setup with a king bed and sofa bed is convenient, but the lack of privacy due to the spa view may be uncomfortable. The location is great, near the Pier and many dining options, although the presence of homeless individuals nearby was a downside. The daily dining experience was marred by items consistently running out, except for valet. Depending on the agent, accessibility to the swimming pool area was an issue. Overall, the property seems overpriced for the experience offered.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was nice and a short walk to the beach, but I was a bit disappointed as it was not as large as I expected based on my booking, and the location, although excellent, had issues with the homeless population in the area.

The hotel's location is fantastic, just a minute's walk to the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade, with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. The rooms were spacious, bright, and well laid out, offering ample space for a family of four. However, there are concerns about the homeless population in the area. The dining experience was good overall but had issues with items frequently running out. The facilities were satisfactory, though valet service was noted as a downside.

The hotel's location is really good, within walking distance of everything I was interested in. The rooms looked over the spa, were large but directly onto the spa on the same level, which felt a little awkward and lacked privacy. The service was good with shops/commercial services available. The location is fantastic when visiting Santa Monica Beach, very close to 3rd St Promenade, and offers various in-room entertainment options. Dining was good overall, although they often ran out of items. The facilities were decent, catering to basic needs but could be improved.
